The disclosure relates to the field of optical technologies, and in particular, to a manufacturing method for a light emitting device, the light emitting device, and a hybrid light emitting device.
BACKGROUNDAlong with the continuous development of science and technology, requirements of people on display quality is continuously increasing, quantum dots light emitting diode (QLED) display is known as the most representative display technology in future for its high color purity, color saturation and wide color gamut. Currently, QLED device is mainly manufactured by solution method, such as inkjet printing, silk-screen printing, spin-coating, slit-coating, and spray-coating, because a displayed pixel is very small, coating of sub-pixel generally adopts inkjet printing process to realize the selective coating, namely, in RGB sub-pixel grooves constructed by pixel separating structure, nozzles are used for successively printing R, G, B quantum dot material inks. Because the efficiency of existing blue light QLED device is low, it is somewhat difficult to construct the RGB display of the QLED device by directly using quantum dots, but developments of traditional blue light LED and OLED are more mature, so a mode of realizing the RGB display by RG quantum dots optically combined with LED or OLED having electrically blue light may be rapidly realized in a short time.
However, in the above inkjet printing process, morphology of a droplet sprayed by the nozzle is very unstable, many small droplets may be usually observed around a main droplet, the dispersed small droplets are easy to deviate from their original positions, and fall into neighboring sub-pixel areas, so that falling quantity of material in each sub-pixel is different or a color mixture problem occurs, thereby the final performance of the light emitting device is affected or color difference problem is generated, leading to a reduced product yield.
The OLED generally uses an evaporation method to prepare the above electroluminescence device, namely, an upper space of a substrate is covered by a mask plate and multiple times of the vacuum hot evaporation are performed to prepare the RGB pixels, for example, when the R pixels are evaporated, the positions corresponding to the GB pixels are covered by the mask plate so as not to be evaporated, in the above method, utilization rate of materials is relative low, the cost is extremely high, based on the above disadvantage, an solution method for manufacturing the above OLED electroluminescent device with RGB pixels is extensively researched, in order to counter against the QLED electroluminescent device which has advantage of solution processable method. The QLED device with wide color gamut, accurate and controllable colors and the like is known as the optimal display technology of the next generation. No matter it is the OLED display which continuously occupies traditional LCD display market, or the QLED display which is vigorously developed in order to replace the OLED so that the display technology can be directly transited from LCD to QLED, manufacturing process of the solution method is the key of the current research.
However, regarding the spray-coating process of the solution method, because the material orientation of the spraying device is low, it is only suitable for area coating, and is not suitable for point coating; regarding the inkjet printing process of the solution method technology, in order to guarantee the injection precision of ink, a precision inkjet printing device is generally needed, therefore the device investment is too expensive.
During the preparation process of an optical quantum dot color film, a black matrix or a pixel separating structure manufactured by yellow light process is complicated in process and expensive in cost. The investment of the precision inkjet printing device is also expensive, the difficulty is increased for popularization of a new technology.

The solvent may be selected from long chain hydrocarbon of which boiling point is between 40 and 250 DEG C., a mixture of alcohol, ester and ether as organic solvent.

The modified surface has hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity; the ink used in the step S2 and the modified surface have different hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity. By disposing the hydrophobic ink on the corresponding position of the substrate after the ink passing through the hollow portions of the mask plate with hydrophilic modified surface, or disposing the hydrophilic ink on the corresponding position of the substrate after the ink passing through the hollow portion of the mask plate with a hydrophobic modified surface, the ink may not adhere to the mask plate, so the material orientation is improved, thereby the spray-coating process of the solution method may be used for manufacturing the pixels, and inkjet printing device in lower precision may be used for manufacturing the pixels, thus the cost is reduced compared to using a precision inkjet printing device.
In the above preferable implementation mode, in order to further improve the material orientation by the mask plate, more preferably, the modified surface further includes a surface of the mask plate adjacent to the substrate. By making one side of the mask plate adjacent to the substrate have the modified surface, and the modified surface and the ink have the different hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity, the ink with hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity may not adhere to the surface adjacent to the substrate when passing through the hollow portions.
In the prior art, a metal material or other hydrophilic ultraviolet-aging resistant materials are used for preparing the mask plate generally. Because an oxidation layer on the metal surface has affinity with water, so the surfaces of most of metals are hydrophilic, the hydrophobic ink may be disposed on the corresponding position on the substrate after passing through the hollow portions of the above mask plate, and may not adhere to the surface modified mask plate, thereby the orientation of the hydrophobic material is improved.
In order to acquire the mask plate with hydrophobic modified surface, preferably, the above manufacturing method further includes a process of forming the modified surface: step S01, the mask plate is immerged in solution with a hydrophobic material, so that the hydrophobic material is fixed on the surface of the mask plate; and step S02, the mask plate fixed with the hydrophobic material is separated from the solution, and drying treatment or solidifying treatment is performed on the mask plate, so as to form the modified surface with hydrophobicity. Through the above preferable implementation mode, the hydrophilic ink may be disposed on the corresponding position on the substrate after passing through the hollow portions of the above mask plate, and may not adhere to the surface modified mask plate, thereby the orientation of the hydrophilic material is improved. In order to make the prepared mask plate with better hydrophobicity, preferably the hydrophobic material is a fluoric silane coupling agent.
In addition, in order to adequately use the hydrophilicity of the mask plate, preferably, the process of forming the modified surface includes the following steps: ultraviolet ozone photolysis oxidization is performed on the surface of the mask plate, so as to form the modified surface with hydrophilicity. By performing the ultraviolet ozone photolysis oxidization on the surface of the mask plate, various greasy stain and chemical substances remained on the surface of the mask plate are removed and the hydrophilic metal surface can be exposed, in the above optional embodiment, the hydrophobic fluoric silane coupling agent is removed and the hydrophilic metal surface is exposed, then the mask plate with the hydrophilic modified surface is obtained. Technical conditions of the above ultraviolet ozone photolysis oxidization may be set by those skilled in the art according to the prior art.
Because the mask plate with the modified surface is adopted or the surface of the mask plate is completely exposed, spray-coating process or inkjet printing process may be used in the above step S2 so that the ink is disposed on the surface of the substrate after passing through the hollow portions. Preferably the viscosity of the above hydrophilic ink or the hydrophobic ink is less than or equal to 50 cps, guaranteeing that the ink supply be controlled well by device's nozzles; and in order to guarantee that the ink being effectively atomized by the nozzles, preferably, the above spray-coating process is ultrasonic spray-coating, in order to improve the spray-coating effect of the preferable hydrophilic ink or the hydrophobic ink, the ultrasonic frequency used by the preferable ultrasonic spray-coating is 45-180 kHz, the viscosity of the preferable hydrophilic ink or hydrophobic ink is less than or equal to 10 cps.
In a preferable implementation mode, the substrate in the step S1 is provided with a pixel separating structure, and the pixel separating structure is provided with multiple mutually separated sub-pixel areas, and the hollow portions are disposed corresponding to each sub-pixel area; in the step S2, the ink enters the corresponding sub-pixel area after passing through the hollow portion. The above pixel separating structure may effectively prevent the ink color mixture between the different sub-pixel areas, thus the color accuracy is improved.
In order to reduce the effect of the color accuracy, i.e. deviation of quantity or position of the ink falling into the corresponding sub-pixel area caused by the deformation of the mask plate during the large area light emitting device preparation, the above mask plate may contact with the substrate surface of the side having the pixel separating structure; in addition, in order to make the hydrophilic ink or the hydrophobic ink more accurately enter the sub-pixel area of the pixel separating structure after passing through the hollow portions of the mask plate, preferably, the area of the above hollow portion is less than or equal to the area of the corresponding sub-pixel area, more preferably, the shape of the hollow portion is the same as the shape of the corresponding sub-pixel area.
